Under the leadership of the State Board of Education and the Executive Team, NDE impacts the achievement of nearly half a million children and 30,000 educators. Early Childhood Education Facilities Expansion Grant Funding Opportunity Goals and Priorities The primary goal of this grant is to expand equitable access to high-quality early childhood education in Nevada by funding facilities projects that directly support the expansion of facilities for early childhood education in areas of Nevada where access to high-quality early childhood education is limited. In alignment with SB460 (2025) and Nevada’s broader early learning goals, this initiative supports capital investments that address physical space limitations and promotes longterm access to licensed, developmentally appropriate early childhood education programs for Nevada’s young learners, particularly those in underserved and high-need communities. The Department of Education shall disburse not more than $150,000 for each 800 square feet of expansion.
